whn shez on her back i keep a bright colour duppatta hanging on her..she becomes so happy whnvrit moves..yes bt whn shez on tummy its very diff to keep her happy bcoz she always try to crawl n cries a lot coz she fails to put hrrself up:( still i talk to her..make faces or clap..would love to listen to other moms fr ideas.. she us 4.5 mnth

Apart from the usual toys and rattles, I show him news paper/ magazine when i read. We play peek a boo games, I fold clothes in front of him. He keeps looking at them. Actually he goes on his tummy to have a better view.. I sing ( & act) rhymes for him, my hubby brings him to kitchen when I make breakfast.. He loves to see what I do.. I keep changing rooms so that he doesn't get bored at one place. N ya off late he is in love with the water bottle. :-) He loves the sound & movement of water..

I keep my baby in her rocker and play the rhymes on YouTube,.. Connect s net to my tv so she has bigger picture of them... She s watching them all the time... Though she understands nothing,she s happy with those colors!!!

Is it ok to show them
tv at this age? I mean is it ok for their eyesight?also, doesnt it overstimulate them?

I do almost same things. He loves me watching in kitchen. Loves to play with cloths...
We read newspaper in noon. He has already developed d skill to tear the paper. :)
I kep him away from mobiles n tv.

Toys is the first preference, talking is the second best method, making him clap, sing rhymes, peek a boo, taking him around the house his loves to look around. once i day i give him 15 minutes of rhymes on youtube. He loves to grab and chew anything he gets his hands on, so i keep a steady supply of stuff he can chew on. He loves to touch my face and nose and ear.

Oh i feel the same. Eod i feel so exhausted.
We play with toys rattles. I read bhagawadgita ,sing songs ,play on veena.
Nowadays she has started crying the moment i go away from her. Even if it's for one second. I dunno what to do. She cries n cries
She is 4.5 months old. No complete head control yet. How about your kids on head control ?

Even I don't allow him to watch TV, iPad or mobile. Instead I make different noises like animal, bird sounds.. He responds to it..

I just keep talking abt anything I see/hear or read out aloud wtever I'm reading (even if it is just a message tat I hv received on my mbl).. I let her play wd rattles.. or sing rhymes to her.. I just keep talking abt anything I feel like.. bt at some point I get exhausted n just let her b n I do my own thing.. all ds is whn I'm alone..

No TV or movie of any kind. My lo likes to go about the house... If weather allows then fresh air n time in balcony where I call out stuff. Likes to listen to music n songs... Else rattles during tummy time. Loves char chor n tickling.. At times read him books. He started turning pages. Loves to look out when lying in d sun. Haven't introduced a lot of toys yet. During breakfast hours likes to be taken in arms n walked about. He will listen to me talking to the helps and having breakfast and at times will sleep also.

But at time when I get tired. I lay him down and tell him that I am tired and he should call me if he needs something and then I lie down next to him.

Wiritng it makes it look like a do a lot but it feels less... When I am changing him I sometimes find that music is playing and we both r quiet n peaceful...

When hubby gets home he will play with d baby... at times when I don't have d energy to talk I call up my sis on mobile and she talks to d baby on speaker phone. I use that time to go n eat or use d bathroom or talk to d helps...
